i took those speakers i had in my excursion video and put them in an r/c hummer...works really good...at least when the amp's not overheated..i'm planning on finding an old boombox and putting the amp stuff inside and conenct the speakers to it...that way i can listen to music while it rides around XD consists of 4 15watt @ 8 ohm speakers together in parallel..meaning about 60w into 2 ohms... sounds really good..until an abrupt end when the amp overheats and shuts itself off. it's still warm while im uploading this video :P

plugged these speakers from an old surround sound into one channel on my dad's Technics 200w reciever, and after the first verse of Put On starts, the amp failsafe's and shuts off. Scared the fuck out of me. 4 x 15w @ 8ohm speakers and 1 x 30w @ 8ohms speaker all plugged into Right side A channel on my dad's reciever.

After CW44AC's #106 and #77 start highballing through Catlettsburg, I run under the tracks at the nearby tunnel to greet a GP and an AC4400CW as they pull a mixed freight off from WV, only to stop a few miles up. About 3 minutes into the video, you can hear me running under the tunnel again to meet an SD and another engine as they pull another coal train up the bridge, only to stop somewhere afterwards with part of their train still in Kentucky. Sorry for the poor lighting, but it was down past 7:30PM when the first train started going, and I was using a Kodak Easyshare (my mom's) to capture all of this. Big meet though!

On my first railfanning trip, I caught CW44AC #54 coming off the bridge followed by AC6000CW #602, one of CSX's first production AC6000CW's, the Spirit of Maryland. These two were pullling hard to get up to 30mph past where I was, then highballed to 40mph down the line about a mile. Not bad to catch a dedicated engine on my first trip, I guess.

While CW44AC #106 holds at the junction for traffic, C40-8W (Dash 8-40CW) #7730 and CSX ES44AC (GEVO!) #770 pull a mixed freight southbound through Catlettsburg. Got a couple waves from the engineer as she passed. She was moving pretty quick too.

After a crew change, CW44AC's #106 and #77 make their way through Catlettsburg pulling a long tow of empty coal cars. Engineer didn't seem too happy when I talked to him, but he gave an extra blast on the horn for me. Just because I'm special. :D Didn't tape much from here, because I went under the track (tunnel) and got ready for another train heading westbound from WV.

After the big meet down at the Junction, we started back home up State Rt. 23 in Catlettsburg. Suddenly, the lights of CSX SD70MAC's 728 and #742 appear at the corner, horns going, I tried to get some video out the sunroof of my dad's car, but he pulled over for me to get a video of it crossing by the ballfields. Bad reaction timing for me. Lol

Holding short of the Big Sandy Junction in Catlettsburg, KY, AC4400CW #106 holds for a crew change and sits at idle for a while. About 20 minutes later, her last crew member would come in to help haul the string of unloaded coal cars down into the coal fields of Eastern KY somewhere. Could someone explain to me what the clicking noise I heard was? It looked like it was water being sprayed out of the side onto the tanks, but I couldn't figure it out.

Got to the Amtrak station in Ashland just in time to meet up with CW44AC #472, ES44AC GEVO #928 and GP38-2 #2513 pulling a mixed freight eastbound. First train I caught out of about 7 that day. Good day for spotting!

Got this video clip of VirtualDJ 4.3 with a big techno mix my friend gave to me for our pep rallies. I don't know where he got it, so don't say I'm a pirate. If anyone could find out what song this is for me, and if they know where this mis ix from (I don't know what it was originally called) and can point out the songs in it (It starts out in Darude - Sandstorm and mixes a bunch of songs, including Kernkraft 400 - Zombie Nation, all at a higher pitch) then I would greatly appreciate it

Got bored that night, and had the keys to the van. Found out that the speakers and my bass amp (subwoofer) fit in the back perfect, so I messed around and found a really nice set up. I can always pull the speakers out and set them up on stands, the amp on the ground, and it sounds great, plus a "comfy" DJ booth consisting of the middle/back seats. Works fine for me! Now I just need a good enough generator for all of this... Song is T.I. - 24's (Album Version) from Napster.

Just got to the station to catch Cardinal 51 as this train was still highballing through. All the lights for him were approach as we followed the lead, so I don't know what the speed limit is, but apparently it's pretty fast through here, even though the Russell Yard is only a few miles down.

On the way home from Huntington, we decided to drop by and see the train come in. We followed a fast-moving mixed freight westbound to the station, then a CSX coal train highballed past on the eastbound track, before this train came in. Train was lead by Genesis unit 168, pulling 4 Amfleets and a sleeper. He was coming in hot and fast, being about 20 minutes late, and speeding past a hot CSX freight train. Taken with my phone, sorry about quality!

On the way home from Huntington, we decided to drop by and see the train come in. We followed a fast-moving mixed freight westbound to the station, then a CSX coal train highballed past on the eastbound track, before this train came in. Train was lead by Genesis unit 168, pulling 4 Amfleets and a sleeper. He almost lead off way too early. He started to go, and everyone wasn't aboard, so he hit the brakes, turned the ditchers off, sat for about 15 seconds and started going again. As soon as he passed under the bridge, he got going pretty fast. I could still hear the engine revving down past AK Steel. Taken with my phone, sorry about quality!

Not 20 minutes after the coal train on #538, this train came by. I was rushing out my friend's back yard to the sound of a different horn, so that's why you see trees at the start. Leading with AC4400CW #168 and #330. (Yes, there are a lot of AC4400CW's out our way, I guess.
